Alma 48:23

Now, they were sorry to take up arms against the Lamanites,

because they did not delight in the shedding of blood;

yea, and this was not all —

they were sorry to be the means of sending so many of their brethren

out of this world into an eternal world, unprepared to meet their God.

Alma 49:20

Thus they were prepared,

yea, a body of their strongest men, with their swords and their slings,

to smite down all who should attempt

to come into their place of security by the place of entrance;

and thus were they prepared to defend themselves against the Lamanites.
